For those who got the camera replaced, did you officially register the camera in your name with Canon before you sent it in? I'm just thinking that that
might
have a negative impact on the chance that the camera will be completely replaced, as it could make it more difficult to resell the camera later on, if it's already "in the system" under someone else's name...

Anyway, not that critical, now off to try out the camera in Austria!

Cheers, All!

I called Canon to inform them of my affected camera and the individual on the phone registered the serial no. under my name and info. With the new camera/serial no., I can't say for sure whether it's already registered to my name/account.
